The Cherry Creek School District is considering a bond issue this fall to help address overcrowding issues at its schools, particularly those in the southeast Aurora area.

A $125 million bond issue would be used, in part, to fund expansions at Cherokee Trail and Grandview high schools where enrollment already exceeds capacity. Approximately $37 million of the bond would also be used for renovations and upgrades to security cameras, electrical, fire protection, HVAC and plumbing at all schools.

“These maintenance projects are just like the ones people do to keep up their homes,” said Scott Siegfried, assistant superintendent of educational support services. “They will help ensure that schools remain safe places for students to learn.”

The bond was recommended unanimously by the district’s long-range facility planning committee, which is made up of district residents and employees.

On Monday, when the first cross-country eclipse in 99 years swoops across America, believers of all faiths will have their first chance in decades to put their particular religion’s eclipse traditions into practice.

A White House advisory council on infrastructure Thursday became the latest casualty of the pique of business leaders over President Donald Trump’s response to the hate-fueled violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The first solar eclipse to cross the continental United States in nearly a century comes at an especially inopportune time for many employers. From 10:15 a.m. Pacific until just before 3 p.m. Eastern time — some of the busiest hours of the workweek — the moon’s shadow will hit land in Newport, Ore. and leave the continent near Charleston, S.C.
